there is no remote or network-facing path into this code.\nAC:L - The undersized `devm_kcalloc()` is exactly half the required size on every supported platform (gce_num 1 or 2, all arm64), so the out-of-bounds write occurs deterministically on every probe with no timing, layout, or state condition to win.\nPR:N - The heap corruption happens unconditionally during driver probe at boot on affected MediaTek SoCs, requiring no privileges or attacker interaction whatsoever; this matches the scoring of the equivalent probe-time allocation-size CVEs (CVE-2025-39869, CVE-2026-43274).\nUI:N - No victim action is needed — the driver probes automatically at boot on matching hardware, and the out-of-bounds reads recur on every runtime-resume and interrupt without any user involvement.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel heap memory managed by the same kernel security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The half-sized array is subsequently read out of bounds by `clk_bulk_prepare()`/`clk_bulk_enable()`/`clk_bulk_unprepare()`, pulling a `struct clk *` from adjacent heap and dereferencing it; combined with the overlapping heap write this constitutes memory corruption leverageable for kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - This is an out-of-bounds heap write of up to 16 bytes of pointer values (`clk_bulk_data.id` and `.clk`) past the end of the devres allocation, corrupting adjacent kernel objects — an OOB write is scored High.\nA:H - Corrupting the adjacent heap object and later dereferencing an out-of-bounds `struct clk *` in `clk_prepare()`/`clk_enable()` readily produces an oops or panic, and the overflow is flagged as slab-out-of-bounds under KASAN/SLUB redzoning." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/mailbox/mtk-cmdq-mailbox.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "aa1609f571caba0db102c611829d48adf226bb70", "lessThan": "31986fad0cfdda8d8893230da04f5eb0774854d9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "aa1609f571caba0db102c611829d48adf226bb70", "lessThan": "a9c7cb960fc6e056ebecebd136a127612b15630d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "aa1609f571caba0db102c611829d48adf226bb70", "lessThan": "271ee263cc8771982809185007181ca10346fe73", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/mailbox/mtk-cmdq-mailbox.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.11", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.11", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.11.11", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.11.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.13", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.11", "versionEndExcluding": "6.11.11" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.11", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.2" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.11", "versionEndExcluding": "6.13" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/31986fad0cfdda8d8893230da04f5eb0774854d9" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a9c7cb960fc6e056ebecebd136a127612b15630d" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/271ee263cc8771982809185007181ca10346fe73" } ], "title": "mailbox: mtk-cmdq: fix wrong use of sizeof in cmdq_get_clocks()", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
